Back in April we brought you some fabulous Aesop stores from across the globe, particularly the news that Aesop was working with estudio{H}ac (JM Ferrero of estudio{H}ac pictured above) to create a new window display (see Blog post here).  We're now happy to present the making of video - see the beautiful installation below! Ferrero has worked with many KE-ZU...

It's been a little while since the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2013 took place.  The illustrious event is the pinnacle of the furniture calendar each year and our Caron and Lidia happily jetted off to attend. Full of great product, interesting people and fun parties - Salone is never one to disappoint. Did you catch our annual Milan Report which...

The biophilia hypothesis suggests that there is an instinctive bond between human beings and other living systems. In his 1984 book and largely the running go-to when it comes to the subject, Edward O. Wilson introduced and popularized the hypothesis as "the urge to affiliate with other forms of life". As often is with architecture and design, we take cues...

I like Victoria Beckham.  During my formative years listening to pop music and attempting to find a suitable musical style to which I could call my taste I’ll admit that she was my least favourite Spice Girl.  Her dancing consisted of bending one knee, dragging a one-handed finger point from left to right all the while sporting a doe eye...

Formosa, recalling the old name given by Potugese navigators to the island of Taiwan in the 16th century, strives to transfer the painter's concept to a carpet...

It may not be Spring, but that hardly matters.  My housemate buys a lot of fresh flowers.  She constantly ensures that the house is smelling sweet and looking beautiful – there’s something gentle and peaceful in the delicacy of a flower – they represent a quality of life that brings joy and delight into a space. Not always, in the...

Indecasa, the company widely heralded as pioneers in the aluminium furniture field – innovators since 1963 in the process.  Doing some simple mathematics, Indecasa is now celebrating 50 years of designing with aluminium. Throughout its history, Indecasa has become renowned for developing its aluminium furniture production, in the belief that an anodised finish will show this material to its full advantage...

Today’s MMM comes in the form of another anecdote. A few years ago I lamented to a friend about not having any new music to listen to as (and my friends will gladly point out) my small rotation of classics was getting rather tiresome. A simple scribble on a piece of paper led me to discover Australian blues singer-songwriter C.W...

Our friends and KE-ZU supplier over at Artifort shared the video below with us. The video is a very sweet and funny Dutch Toyota advertisement, comically evidencing how a smaller car may just save the day when it comes to your grandchilds birthday (and how stunt carparking can be fun anywhere, really!).  The fun part for us?  The cute birthday...
